One of the pests that can attack your dog is ticks. This parasite will attach to the dog’s body and suck on the blood of its host. There are about eight known species of ticks in North America. Aside from affecting dogs, humans can also play host to ticks. The usual hiding places for ticks are plants, grassy or woody areas. These parasites also abound in urban areas.
You should also keep in mind that ticks can also settle in nooks and crannies around your house. If you have ticks in your house, these can easily transfer to your pet dog. What’s worse, the ticks can even transfer to you.
Here are different ways to prevent ticks infestation:
● Always sweep the area to check if there are ticks present
● You can trim hedges, branches, and grasses to reduce the hiding place of ticks
● Clean your house to remove ticks
Ask your vet clinic Flat Rock, NC for a tick prevention program for your pet’s year-round protection.
